ADIF Map Plotter
Drop in ADIF logs and turn them into a footprint map, using grid squares when you have them and sensible fallbacks when you do not. Browse it live, go fullscreen, or export KML.
Sometimes the log has a lovely tidy grid square. Sometimes it has a POTA reference, a callsign, and a vague sense of optimism. This tool takes what it can get.
Upload one or more ADIF files and it will try to place each contact on a map using the best location clue available, then tell you how trustworthy that guess was before you export the result as KML or just fling the map fullscreen and take a screenshot.
ADIF to map
Feed it logs. It will work out where the contacts probably were.
Resolution order is simple enough: exact coordinates if they exist, then grid squares, then references, then callsign or region hints if that is all the log has to offer. It is a map, not a hallucination engine, so uncertain points stay visibly uncertain.
No logs loaded yet. The world remains politely unplotted.
Once you load a log, this page will plot the resolved contacts on a proper map, separate the confident points from the hand-wavy ones, and let you export the result as KML or go fullscreen for screenshots.
Contact footprint
The map uses greener origin markers, stronger fills for better evidence, and curved paths back to where the log says you were.
Resolved points
The first chunk of the log that ended up somewhere mappable, with the reason why.

Still unresolved
These are the contacts the page could not place without making things up.
The resolver is intentionally honest. A proper grid square is better than a POTA prefix, and a POTA prefix is better than squinting at a callsign and making a very broad regional guess. The page keeps those distinctions visible so you know when you are looking at a footprint and when you are looking at an informed shrug.
